Well Done I’ve been looking for a while to find a head unit that looks almost factory And the fact you can do it Skoda Green I’ve ordered one so I look forward to installing it
I've been updating the maps on my Dad's factoy Yeti unit for free since he's had it - it's pretty straightforward. That said - this is a great upgrade over the stock unit!
Very good bit of kit. I'm sitting here in my shorts and t shirt with the ceiling fan going and it's about 32°C. To see you all wrapped up in your arctic gear reminds me why I like not being in the UK at this time of year.
Oh, how I wish I lived closer to you (I’m in Sussex). I have a 2016 Yeti with a laminating screen on my radio, and no satnav. I want to upgrade but guess I’m going to have to find someone closer to home. Wouldn’t feel confident doing all that myself. ☹️
2007? Is it the same shape as that Skoda head unit? The same one will probably fit! If you click the link, bottom left hand corner you can enter your car details and it will show you all the compatible head units 👍
Hi yer , great video and on the strength of it I went a head a purchased excatly the same head unit 👍 just one question how did you feed the USB from the glovebox to the unit, is there a knack to it , also the dab antena connection , thank you and keep the good work up
That looks great and such a neat fit. One question about watching videos on it, does it cut out the picture when you are moving so the driver can't see it?
Hi, A great video and I’m now convinced that this is the way to go. I have a 2013 Yeti with the Bolero radio fitted. It isn’t square like the one from your car. Is there an infill to enable this to be fitted without changing the fascia?
I have a solution for you..... If your surround doesn't fit, you can just pick up one from that has the radio like mine and it will fit. All the yetis have the same mountings. I think it might be ok though, my head unit is a bit triangular too
I have to say that the unit does fit very well. I was very tempted to purchase it with the Black Friday deal but one thing stopped me - no mention at all either from your own Yeti ownership or on Xtrons website that this unit also works with the factory fitted parking sensors. My 2014 Yeti has all-round parking sensors so that they show up on the current standard factory unit so will want an upgrade that uses the sensors as well. Any info would be great.
I went out and checked this today for another subscriber. Can confirm that the factory parking sensors show up on the right hand side of the screen when parking. You get the audio beeps and sonar image. It connects to the car's CANBUS system 👍
@@WhitelandRestorations Thanks for this info - one last question. If you have heated seats, do they also show up on the unit display screen as they currently do on the facotry unit?
I have the skoda yeti Elegance 4*4 in India Do you think it will be same process for me if I plan to replace it, the default bolero unit is giving me some problems Also what about the parking sensors display? Will that be displayed too on the screen?
When the car is in reverse, does it show the beeper / sensor indicator (not reversing camera). Great video, thanks. Looking to update the HU but not really wanting to go down the Pioneer / Kenwood route as quite fancy an Android unit
Yes! Full WIRELESS apple car play too. So much better than having to faff with a cable. We just didn't have an iPhone arou6to demonstrate it. Thank you, we really do love this unit!
@@WhitelandRestorations thank you. My friends who live in South Wales also have a white Skoda Yeti and if I was them I would be updating the system. I’ll send them the link to the UA-cam vlog. Cheers.
loved the video and so I bought the unit for my 2015 Skoda yeti and sad to say it doesn't power up .when I close the latch on the large connector the yellow wire on the Xtrons loom pushes out of the connector . ( there is no corresponding wire in the cars large connector) I was wondering if my car is a late 2015 and has a different head unit . the other connectors on the Skoda head unit are different ,the double white small co ax is the same but the blue Ariel connector is a dull yellow small round 4 pin ,and there is no top connector on my Skoda unit. will be gutted if it's not compatible . have emailed the company and I'm waiting for a response .
I'm so sorry to hear your having trouble installing! Here's a link to the Official XTRONS Facebook groups for support. They might be able to help quicker. They are fantastic on there. Hopefully just a hiccup and they'll have you sorted out asap. facebook.com/groups/1037383397682256/?ref=share
I have just had the same problem. Apparently there are 2 models and yours must be the other model. The company fitting mine got round it but it's not a straight swap over.
Well maybe the GPS one would get a signal quicker but we've not got any issues. The other aerials are for internal signal really and since we mainly use android auto it mostly uses the mobile data

Brilliant! Like a couple of toddlers on Christmas morning.
New gadget day is my favourite 😁
A drinking game, every time the word "Huge", comes up
Well done, great mod. You make it look so easy, and, it looks beautiful.
It really brings the inside of the yeti up to date. Loads more functionality than what we could fit in the video too. Great bit of kit 👍
Looks fantastic, I want one 😍

32c! We're struggling to keep our coffees above that temp 😂
Looks amazing, thanks!
PS: A screen digitizer is like 25 bucks on eBay, and replacing it takes like 20 minutes 😜

What about parking sensor is thi work wit them too ?
Oooh, there is probably one of those to replace the head unit in my 2007 Passat! I might have to look into this... 👀👍
2007? Is it the same shape as that Skoda head unit? The same one will probably fit! If you click the link, bottom left hand corner you can enter your car details and it will show you all the compatible head units 👍
@@WhitelandRestorations It looks very similar. A VW B6 Type. It still works but the map is well out of date!

That looks great and such a neat fit. One question about watching videos on it, does it cut out the picture when you are moving so the driver can't see it?
Yes it does. You can turn that feature off in the settings be obviously always drive following the law. The unit can also do picture in picture too!
Any chance of a review of living with it after a few weeks?
I'll do a full review video when we catch up after the storm damage 😊👍

@jeffsharp6798 no problem at all. If you need any help drop me an email. I have a great contact for yeti spares 👍

Use copper grease people 👍on your tyre valves

I think I've seen the option in the settings to have the sonar display. I will investigate and let you know!
Can confirm that the unit shows the front/rear sensors on the screen when parking 👌
Very shiny, wont don't they make the screens matt?
Hi. You mention android but is there an Apple Car play version? Like your enthusiasm!
Yes! Full WIRELESS apple car play too. So much better than having to faff with a cable. We just didn't have an iPhone arou6to demonstrate it. Thank you, we really do love this unit!

@howardgregory3888 great stuff! Share the love! The Yeti is such a cracking car bringing the infotainment up to date is just the icing on the cake!

Such a shame Skoda went down the VAG route with design and now prices, great turnaround guys.
They don't make anything with the same character as the Yeti now. At least we can do something with the inside tech!
Does it have reversing camera?
It doesn't come with on as standard but you can connect one. You can also connect a front facing dashcam too!
good luck getting those pos tpms valve caps on without lettng 5-10psi out your tyres
You've got to be quicker if you're loosing too much air!
@@WhitelandRestorations got sent straight back to amazon!
Where do i put my Cassettes and CDs in?
Where do I plug my 8 Track in?
It's underneath the gramophone 😂
@@WhitelandRestorations Those guys at XTRONS think of everything. Excellent video by the way.
Great video but 1 welsh cake is not enough
Lewis ate the other 5 before we even got going 😂
Amazing, I want one 😍
Link is in the description 😬
how much did you pay for your XTRONS Head Unit
Our friends over at XTRONS sent it to us to try out. We're huge fans of their products and have them in nearly all of our cars 👍
Would it be better to mount those aerials on top of the dash or on the windscreen to get better signal strength?
Well maybe the GPS one would get a signal quicker but we've not got any issues. The other aerials are for internal signal really and since we mainly use android auto it mostly uses the mobile data
I can’t believe Liane likes being barred 😂
Leane's never been barred from anywhere! 😂
Surely you could upgrade a yeti but inflating the tyres a bit more they are that bad 😂
We'll never have to worry about our tyre pressures again 😂
Yes, but does it play CDs? 💿
Who listens to CDs anymore? We're all digital now 😬
@@WhitelandRestorations But CDs are digital!l
